So i am 13 years old and i just recently moved to wyoming. My friend had chickens and i thought they were really cool, So i asked my parents can i get a couple chickens. The answer was no. But i went along and ordered them. They came. 6 dead. I was really devistated. we only wanted nine, so i told the company (ideal poultry) could you send us 5 more (they garentee live chicks) they said sure, We will also send a few males to keep them warm. So that came and the 5 females and 15 males! my dad freaked out and so did i! Of course roosters dont produce eggs so it is very hard to find people who want them. So we are giving them away. keeping 10 hens. any tips for me as i have no experence with chickens and i want to be able to tell if they have diseases because if one does than it will spread. Right now their conditions are not good as we only thought we would have 5. I want a duck too Please give me tips
